Position: Management Accountant

Contract: Part time, permanent - 3 days / 24 hours, per week

Location: Reading / Hybrid

Salary: £29,600 - £32,000, dependent on experience

Application Deadline: This is rolling recruitment, and the role may close early if a high number of applications are received.

The Role

This is a hands-on role for an experienced Management Accountant who can independently manage the full management accounts process from start to finish. Reporting into the Finance & Operations Director, you will take ownership of delivering accurate, timely and insightful management reporting that supports the Senior Leadership Team with strategic decision making, while reviewing and improving existing reports.

The role would suit someone who enjoys taking ownership of their work and is looking for a stable, part-time position where they can apply their existing experience.

Key Responsibilities

  • Independently managing month-end processes, including journals, accruals and prepayments.
  • Perform balance sheet reconciliations and intercompany reconciliations.
  • Preparation of monthly and quarterly management accounts to agreed deadlines.
  • Working closely with colleagues across Finance and other business functions to gather, validate and interpret financial data.
  • Supporting improvements to reporting processes, controls and governance.
  • Preparing quarterly VAT returns.
  • Supporting budgeting, cash flow planning and audits.
  • Ad-hoc reporting as required by the Senior Leadership Team.
  • Any other duties as reasonably required.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
